Still working on the Red Barn. The ceilings are up in the bedrooms and bath but not in the main living room/kitchen area year. He has the boards all tongue and grooved so soon! He's also working on the bathroom. The floor is down, the walls are up but not completely tiled yet. The tub is in but none of the plumbing is connected yet. He has to go up on the roof to put the exhaust pipe out and with the winter and winds, not sure when that will happen.
Austen moved to Colorado this July. He LOVES it out there! He is home right now for Christmas and is telling us all about his adventures. He fell snowboarding in November and dislocated his elbow. This is the second time this has happened and each time he breaks a little bit of bone - he's really going to have to be careful from now on - but you know Austen is not the careful type! LOL
Tom and Ali bought a new house in Jarrell Texas this year. It's just north of Austin. Tom is out of the Army now but has joined the Texas Air National Guard so he does the weekend warrior thing once a month in Houston. He is also working full time as a Security Clearance Investigator. He gets to work from home as well as interviewing out in public but no office other than in his house. He's also going to school full time to finish his degree. And full time dad - he's a little busy!
Erik and Meghan have settled into my old house that they bought last December and I have settled into my Condo too. We had our first Christmas at their house this year (We did Christmas at my Condo last year even though I had just moved in two days before Christmas!) They are doing well and the remodeling is going great!
Aubri is still at Pagoda but looking. She lost her Boo kitty at the end of last year but got a rescue kitty a few months later. He's a challenge but I know she's up for it! She is loving living on her own and renewed her lease last July.
That's it in a nutshell - I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.
